Weren't they one of the last to to be imprisoned in the the Tower of London, because of insubordination during their National Service?

Tv and Radio were shut down for most of the evening.Only two TV stations.So there was less concentrated reporting of the crimes taking place.
I very much doubt that Brady and Hindley were even thinking about being caught even less that they weren't going to hang..
And then there were still those who committed murder despite the chances of being caught, tried and hung.It may have deterred some but not all.
Proscribed,precsribed..not often I use the wrong word.  |
In fact, on some days, the report would say, "There is no news today."
